Chapter 1, Problem 8PP
Consider a robot that has been placed in a maze. The right-hand rule tells you how to escape from a maze: Always have the right hand next to a wall, and eventually you will find an exit. The robot can:
- Move forward by one unit.
- Turn left or right.
- Sense what is in front of it: a wall, an exit, or neither.

A number maze is a k ×k grid of positive integers. A token starts in the upper left corner and your goal is to move the token to the lower-right corner. On each turn, you are allowed to move the token up, down, left, or right; the distance you may move the token is determined by the number on its current square. For example, if the token is on a square labeled 3, then you may move the token exactly three steps up, three steps down, three steps left, or three steps right. However, you are never allowed to move the token off the edge of the board. Design and analyze an algorithm that in O(k2) time determines if there is a way to move the token in the given number maze or not.
Need help in writing a backtracking code that finds a path in a given maze. The problem is that the given mazes do not have a given destination. The path exit is when you reach an edge square that is not the point of entry.Example:
1 1 1 1
0 0 0 1 0- represents the path that we're allowed to go
1 1 0 1 1- represents the wall
1 1 0 1 the last zero would be the exit.
The code has to be written in c++. If you cant write the code, please at least help me with the logics. Thank you so much !!!
Make a MAZE game on Spyder, giving the user to choose their route. Each route will have either doors or obstacles that the user will solve or use logic to complete. Use a random function so the obstacles change with a new try. The user needs to get out of the Maze in three tries or he loses a life. The user will be asked a question whether they want to try it again or skip the level. Need help with the code!! Thank you

Thank you so much !!!arrow_forwardA robot starts on a point marked “A” on a rectangular grid of points. The starting point is always the top left point on the grid. The robot can move left, right, up or down, moving from one point to the next. By moving in steps going left, right, up or down, the robot would like to reach a point marked “B”, which is always the bottom right point in the grid. Sometimes, points are marked as “x”, and the robot is not allowed to visit them at all. A robot is never allowed to visit a point more than once. In how many ways can the robot move from A to B and visit all points along the way? For example, in the following grid, represented in text as A . . . . B there is only one path from A to B: In the following grid, represented in text as A . . x x B there is still only one path (we're lucky because of the two x's): However, in the grid A . . . x B there are no ways for the robot to move from A to B and visit all points that are not marked with “x”.

Here is how it works: • First, it is randomly determined if the user starts the game or the computer and this information is shown to the user. The player who starts always starts as "X". • The players (computer and the user) will then take turns in playing. The computer will choose a random empty spot on its turn. The user enters its choice in the console. • Each of the empty spots have a corresponding number that the players choose on their turn. If the user enters anything other than the number of an empty spot (not yet filled with "X" or "O"), it will not be accepted, and they will be prompted to enter a correct number. 2 4 7 8 • After each turn, two things need to be done: 1) displaying the updated board 2) checking if anyone has won (it should be printed who has won – the user or the computer).

- The game is played in the magic maze, as shown below. The squares are flaming lava pools. If you try to cross them you will die. The grid lines are passageways and are safe to travel in. You can start at any location on the grid but must travel in the passageways. You may travel as far as you want in any direction, but once you turn, you must repeat that distance and you may only make left turns. You may not reverse direction inside the tight passageways. You must end up at the same spot you started at. If you successful, then you gain a magic coin, which automatically appears. You can start over again and again in a different or same starting spot and earn new magic coins, but the routes you take must differ somehow for each magic coin. That is, no magic coins for the exact same route as previously done. If the route varies in any way (perhaps it is the same starting location and ending location as a previous route, but longer), it will earn a new magic coin. Mad Madame Mim has…arrow_forwardThe two friend Alpha and Beta have invented a new game called Coins&Papers. The game is played with their coins and a strip of paper divided into cells. The cells are numbered from the left, starting from 1. Alpha and Beta put some coins at some random cells on the strip, each coin in a cell. They alternatively take their turn to play the game. At each step, a player must take a coin and move it to a cell to the left of it. There is at most one coin in a cell at any time of the game. Of course, a coin cannot jump over another coin. Whoever cannot move loses the game. Beta takes her turn first. Develop a python code to find out who wins the game, if Beta could win the game, show her a winning move. If there are several winning moves, show her the winning move that uses the leftmost possible coin. If there are still several moves, show her the move that moves the coin as far as possible to the left.

- 1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. 1. Your objective is to guide a robot through a labyrinth. The robot begins at the maze's middle, looking north. You have the option of facing the robot north, east, south, or west. You may tell the robot to travel ahead a particular distance, but it will halt if it comes too close to a wall. i. Create a problem statement for this situation. What is the size of the state space? ii. The only location we need to turn while traversing a labyrinth is at the junction of two or more passageways. This remark may be used to reformulate the issue. What is the current size of the state space? iii. We may go in any of the four directions from any point in the labyrinth until we reach a turning point, and that is the only action we need to do. Using these steps, rephrase the issue. Is it necessary to maintain track of the robot's orientation at this point? iv. We already abstracted from the actual world in our original description…arrow_forwardCoupon collector is a classic statistic problem with many practical applications. The problem is to pick objects from a set of objects repeatedly and determine how many picks are needed for all the objects to be picked at least once. A variation of the problem is to pick cards from a shuffled deck of 52 cards repeatedly and find out how many picks are needed before you see one of each suit. Assume a picked card is placed back in the deck before picking another. Write a program to simulate the number of picks needed to get four cards from each suit and display the four cards picked (it is possible that a card may be picked twice).arrow_forwardThis challenge is based on the classic videogame "Snake". Assume the game screen is an n * n square, and the snake starts the game with length 1 (i.e. just the head) positioned on the top left corner. For example, if n = 7 the game looks something like this: BEGINNING In this version of the game, the length of the snake doubles each time it eats food (e.g. if the length is 4, after eating it becomes 8). Create a function that takes the siden of the game screen and returns the number of times the snake can eat before it runs out of space in the game screen. Examples FIRST MOVE snakefill (3) snakefill (6) - 5 snakefill (24) → 9 3arrow_forward
- Can you help?arrow_forwardChildren often play a memory game in which a deck of cards containing matching pairs is used. The cardsare shuffled and placed face down on a table. The players then take turns and select two cards at a time.If both cards match, they are left face up; otherwise, the cards are placed face down at the same positions.Once the players see the selected pair of cards and if the cards do not match, then they can memorize thecards and use their memory to select the next pair of cards. The game continues until all the cards areface up. Write a program to play the memory game. Use a two-dimensional array of 4 rows and 4 columnsfor a deck of 16 cards with 8 matching pairs. You can use numbers 1 to 8 to mark the cards. (If you use a6 by 6 array, then you will need 18 matching pairs, and so on.) Use random number generators torandomly store the pairs in the array. Use appropriate functions in your program, and the main programshould be merely a call to functions.

It initially faces right.At each step, it does the following:(1) At a white square, flip the color of the square, turn 90 degrees right (clockwise), and move forwardone unit.(2) At a black square, flip the color of the square, turn 90 degrees left (counter-clockwise), and moveforward one unit.Write a program to simulate the first K moves that the ant makes and print the final board as a grid.Note that you are not provided with the data structure to represent the grid. This is something youmust design yourself. The only input to your method is K. You should print the final grid and returnnothing.
